[Eight Heroes] A gentleman hides his sword

The moonlight is miserable, and the night in early autumn is cold.

In a small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River, a woman sat alone at the table, looking at the untouched food in front of her, feeling restless.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, she stood up nervously, and the beautiful face of the woman under the light was revealed for the first time, with a hint of joy.

When she opened the door, her red lips were slightly drawn, and she smiled.

"you're back!"

Her voice was gentle, giving off a graceful temperament unique to Jiangnan women, "Have you drunk? I'll get you a cup of hot tea."

Yan Tiexin glanced at the untouched food on the table and sighed in his heart.

"Xiangxiang, from now on, don't wait for me."

The woman paused, her smile froze unconsciously, she forced a smile, and said: "I am your wife who has never married, so I should wait for you."

She paused, and continued: "Since you resigned, you haven't dined with me for a long time, Tie Xin, things will pass one day, if Yang Chenquan knows, I definitely don't want you to blame yourself like this."

As if realizing something, she stopped and stood there without speaking.

Yan Tiexin has been listening quietly. The woman in front of him is his fiancée. He doesn't know whether there is love between them, but this woman is devoted to him and has done many things for him. As a man, Yan Tiexin Tie Xin always felt that he owed her. Whether it was because of his official duties or because of his promise to her father, Yan Tiexin always had an indelible guilt when facing her.

Especially since his only apprentice Yang Chen had an accident, he also moved to the south of the Yangtze River due to some incidents, but this woman has always followed him and never left him. Yan Tiexin was lying if he said he was not moved.

Thinking like this, but he didn't make too many changes. It's not that he can't, but he doesn't want to. He is a man of the quack, and it's hard to say what the future will be. If he can, he hopes that this woman can find a stable man to take care of her , so he didn't want and didn't want to let her have too many expectations of him.

The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, and Xiangxiang was also embarrassed and didn't know how to break it. At this moment, he suddenly heard a soft sound, Yan Tiexin reacted quickly and opened the window, and a carrier pigeon flew in.

Yan Tiexin took off the letter paper, and on the clean white paper were only a few words of flamboyance and phoenix dance. Yan Tiexin just glanced at it, and then lost his composure, with a smiling expression and nostalgia, but Xiangxiang felt it very clearly. The joy in this man's heart at the moment.

She was stunned for a while, she knew him too well after being by this man's side for many years, she had never seen him so moved, she was a little nervous, curious and jealous, but she just smiled and approached Beside him, asked softly: "Whose letter is it, you seem very happy?"

It was rare for Yan Tiexin not to change the subject, his eyebrows and eyes were raised, and his smile became more obvious: "It's my brother, Guan Yulou, you know, he said that the younger brother has already left the mountain, let me go to meet him, but,"

He paused, and said with some dumbfounding: "The younger brother came out two months ago, but the senior brother just sent me a letter now. I'm afraid it's my little junior brother who has lost his way because of his fuss."

Xiangxiang saw that when he talked about that junior brother, his expression was rarely relaxed, and his emotions were obvious. He felt a little nervous and sour for some reason, but he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he was a little happy for him, and said gently: " That's great, you don't have any official duties now, so you'll go out to inquire in the next few days, find someone, and when he comes over, I will entertain him well."

Yan Tiexin shook his head, and said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, I have other things to do now, with the intellect of my junior brother, even if I get lost, I can still find this place, you stay here for two days At home, if he comes, you should tell me."

The two talked again, and then went to rest. After a while, another two days passed.

……

In the hustle and bustle of the market, a group of people and horses were marching ostentatiously. Six big men were carrying a large open-air sedan chair. There were maidservants waiting in front of them and bodyguards guarding the road in the back. It could be said that they were extremely ostentatious.

Dong Guoren walked beside him, his fat body curled up in embarrassment, helplessly avoiding everyone's sight, he turned his head and whispered to the young man sitting on the sedan chair, "Jiaqi, isn't it too ostentatious for us to do this? "

The young man reclined on the sedan chair had handsome features, was dressed in a rich and brocade robe, and the jade pendant around his waist was shining in the sun. He was full of flair, but it didn't make people feel disgusted. Lazy and comfortable, even the voice is lazy: "Am I ostentatious?"

He paused for a moment, and then asked loudly to the servants and servants who were waiting on him: "Everyone say, am I ostentatious?"

The son of a rich family has been favored by his family since he was a child, and those servants would not dare to disobey him. Now that he asked this question, he naturally got a unanimous denial from everyone.

So Xie Jiaqi continued to flaunt with peace of mind.

Of course, in this world, there are rich people and there are poor people, and naturally there are those who dislike him. Xie Jiaqi's ostentatious behavior naturally aroused some people's dissatisfaction.

A burst of wind is one of these people, and he bravely used practice to teach them a lesson.However, although he has the skill of being a thief, he is quite principled in his actions, and his temperament is upright and straightforward, so he can be regarded as a good person. This time, he was only stimulated by the ostentatious behavior of Xie Jiaqi and others, so he wanted to teach him a lesson.

When Xie Jiaqi found out, his purse had already been stolen by Feng Yi. He and Dong Guoren chased after him, but they became friends without knowing each other.

After the breeze separated, Xie Jiaqi and Dong Guoren returned to the state of doing nothing again. Xie Jiaqi's parents died early, and he moved to Jiangnan this time because of filial piety and hoped that his grandma would live better and take care of his health.

I have always heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is the best, but the two of them walked along the way, but they didn't feel anything strange, and they couldn't help but lacked interest.

The two discussed for a while, and Xie Jiaqi's old beauty reverted back, so the two decided to go to the second floor of the most famous brothel in the south of the Yangtze River.

On the second floor of Chong, the new oiran Feng Laiyi won the hearts of everyone by dancing to the sound of the drums. Although the beauty only sells her art but not her body, it is also a good story to spread Xu Yiye's candle-lit night talk, so she made a public bid for the buyer Not much.

Xie Jiaqi has never had much resistance to beauties, but now seeing the beautiful Feng Laiyi, he couldn't help it long ago, and the first time he asked for 1000 taels, it made all the other judges dare not compete anymore.

At this moment, Yan Tiexin suddenly appeared and won against Xie Jiaqi with a silver ticket weighing "ten taels". The protocol of the manner of the game.

Yan Tiexin's face remained unchanged and he said, "Okay, I'll let you be convinced to lose, but since it's a bet, then there must be some bets, right?"

Xie Jiaqi thought he was smart, so he made a bet without hesitation that whoever loses will have to invite everyone to drink, and if he sees the other party in the future, he will have to salute and say hello to the other party.

He wanted to compete with Yan Tiexin, but the other party refused to respond, instead he took out two wine glasses and said, "I poisoned one of them, we each choose a glass, whoever drinks it and survives will win."

Although Xie Jiaqi hesitated, he refused to admit defeat on the surface, so he agreed without hesitation, but asked Yan Tiexin to choose first. After he chose, Xie Jiaqi snatched the wine from his hand and said that he should choose first. Yan Tiexin drank it first, but in the end he was mistaken by his cleverness, and drank the drugged wine by Yan Tiexin. Fortunately, Yan Tiexin had no malicious intentions, so he just used the laxative to teach Xie Jiaqi a lesson.

Just as they were confronting each other, the judges around had already known the truth, and couldn't help but make fun of Xie Jiaqi. Yan Tiexin looked at Feng Laiyi who was standing aside, and was about to speak, when a strange yet familiar voice suddenly came from upstairs. sound.

"Senior brother came from a long way, I thought the second senior brother didn't come to meet him because he had something important to do, but he didn't know that he was drunk in the land of beauty? It's really unfair!"
